You are correct that the slope of line AB is 2. To find the slope of the line CD, we can apply the slope formula again (like I assume you did with AB).

Therefore, since the slopes of lines AB and CD are equal, they are <u>parallel</u>
Answer:
Truck can safely carry <em>2310 pounds </em> of cargo.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the safety limit of weight to cross the bridge safely is 4 tons.
1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds.
so, 4 tons are equal to 2000
4 = 8000 pounds
Now, given that
weight of empty truck and driver = 5690 pounds
To find:
Weight of cargo that the truck can safely carry ?
Solution:
Total weight of the truck is actually the combined weight of the empty truck, the drive and the cargo carried in it.
So, Total Weight allowed = 8000 pounds = 5690 pounds + Weight of Cargo
Weight of Cargo = 8000 - 5690 pounds
Weight of Cargo = <em>2310 pounds</em>
Truck can safely carry <em>2310 pounds </em> of cargo.
Answer: 1.2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Profit = Selling price - Cost
She bought the stock at a cost of x dollars
Her profit was 20% of that, which is 0.2x dollars
Selling price = Profit + Cost = x + 0.2x = 1.2x
Answer:
36% is the joint probability that a flight arrives late because of weather and ground operations
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
% of flight late because of weather = 0.75
% of flight late because of ground operation = 0.35
% of flight late because of both weather and ground operation = 0.10
The probability of joint probability that a flight arrives late because of weather and ground operations is equal to
p (A and B) + {P(A) * P(B)}
0.10 + (0.75 * 0.35)
0.36
or 36%
The mean of this discrete random variable is 7.96
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
x 4 6 9 11 15
P(x) 0.20 0.34 0.15 0.22 0.09
<u><em>Mean is given as:</em></u>
![\mu_{x}=\sum[x \times P(x)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmu_%7Bx%7D%3D%5Csum%5Bx%20%5Ctimes%20P%28x%29%5D)
Therefore,

Thus, mean of this discrete random variable is 7.96
